Petition Action

Ban bots and other services that aid scalping in consumer products.

Petition Details

Ban bots and digital services that aid purchasing products which can then be scalped to make a profit. It leaves general consumers out of pocket.

Additional Information

After the PS5 boom, lots of services have been offered to help ‘snipe’ the latest consoles. By doing so people have bought PlayStation’s in mass to then sell on eBay for a big profit. This leaves the general consumer out of pocket or without a product at all.
